Seattle Children's Museum

Seattle Children's Museum is a children's museum in downtown Seattle featuring roughly 14,000 square feet of interactive exhibition space. The rooms are designed specifically for children from infancy through age 10 and encourage exploration and play.

The museum was founded in 1977 and has grown into a facility supporting child development through hands-on experiences. Over the years, educational programs and exhibits were added to help children understand the world through experimentation.

The museum features areas where children act out everyday activities in replica spaces like shops, medical offices, and postal services. Through these recreations of familiar places, children learn how the world around them works through play.

The facility has separate areas for different age groups with child-appropriate amenities and multiple learning stations throughout. Visitors should plan for flexible time since children will want to spend varying amounts of time in each zone.

The museum built specialized small toilets and sinks that are properly sized for younger children. This design detail makes visits much more comfortable and independent for the youngest visitors.
